GARMENT PATTERN.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN LA'riMoRn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Utica, in the county of Oneida and New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment Patterns, of which the following isa specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates to a garment pattern and I declare the following to be a full, clear, concise and exact description thereof sufficient to enable anyone skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the specification. i

The object of the invention is to garment pattern for use more particularly in making mens, boys and womens suits. The pattern is designed to economize in saving of time in cutting out said garments. Heretofore, in the use of such patterns it has been necessary to lay the pattern upon the cloth and after marking with a piece of wax or chalk the general outline of the pattern to mark also the location of certain perforations which are used as guides to the cutter in fitting the several parts together in an accurate manner for the formation of the coat or trousers or other design intended. To this end certain open perforations were made along the edges of the respective patterns and the wax marks made accordingly. Subsequently, when the tailor removed the pattern and cut the cloth to conform thereto, the chalk marks indicating the perforations and being made adjacent the. cut edge would become obliterated or cut away in said operation, thereby necessitating the laying of the pattern a second time upon the cloth thus cut, and remarking the perforations.

This operation of remarking the perforations is avoided in applicants pattern for the reason that applicant has designed his patterns with certain perforations that are disposed one fourth of an inch from the edge thereof and within the general outline of the pattern, whereby they cannot be cut away. 1

The object will be apparent by referring to the drawings in which:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a pattern of the back of the coat;

Fig. 6 is a plan view of a pattern of the back of the trousers. Referring more particularly to the drawlngs. the patterns are made preferably of card board or of dark brown heavy paper. A complete set of patterns for. making a mans suit is here illustrated. .Thepattern for the back of a coat is represented by l- It has two narrow slots or perforations 22 made within a side edges which perforations are adapted to indicate the line of theneck outlet The perforations 3-3 indicate the line along which the bottom edge of the coat should be turned up. A perforation 1 denotes the location of the shoulder and is adapted to be placed upon the perforation 4; of the pattern 5 of the front of the coat shown in Fig. 2, when fitting the pieces of cloth together relative to seaming. i

The front pattern 5 has perforations at line along which the at 7-7 to indicate the line of the outlet. It also has a perforation S for the'location of the neck outlet and at 9 for the collar outlet and perforations 10.1O to indioatethe line of the break or turn over part that forms the lapel of the coat. A perforation 14K. indicates the location ofthe sleeve aperture. g

The sleeve patterns are represented at 11 and 12 and are provided withperforations line along which they are turned up. Sleeve pattern 11 has a perforation 14C adapted-to be applied to theperforation 1 1 in the front coat pattern 5 when sewing the parts together. 1

The front trousers pattern is represented at 15. Inasmuch, as there are two such p'or-' tions or pieces, one of the same will be out, along the dotted llne 16 and the other along the full lines by to leave a little more fullness in the one side of the trousers than the other for the comfort of'the wearer.
